A Dozen Reasons to Buy New Construction

A Dozen Reasons to Buy New

1. Favorable Pricing – Competition among homebuilders makes new homes less likely to be overpriced. New homes are easy to compare with other new homes in the market equating value to value. All the homes are the same age and the options are listed up-front with the price breakdown for comparative shopping.

2. Simplified Financing – securing financing is the major obstacle to home ownership. Most homebuilders have done the legwork for you. They have researched the market and negotiated the best rates for their specific type of housing. Many homebuilders now include the closing costs in the price of their new home.

3. New Home Warranties – New home buyers are assured of at least a one year warranty on the home itself and most likely five years on major appliances including air conditioning and heating systems. Many of today’s homebuilders extend structural warranties for a full ten years usually underwritten by insurance companies.

4. Modern Appliances – Appliance manufacturers introduce new models every year and homebuilders are able to offer the latest state-of-the-art equipment at the time of completion of a new home. And, because the builder buys large quantities, the builder’s purchasing power can reduce the cost to the home buyer.

5. Homesite Selection – “Location, Location, Location.” Being able to select the proper homesite is almost as important as choosing the home to fit the buyer’s lifestyle. Developers and homebuilders offer a wide selection of sites including golf course locations, waterfront land, rural acreage and more.

6. Floor Plan Option – Builders of new homes offer a variety of functional floor plans to fit a buyers requirements. If it’s not an inventory home, the homebuilder provides the opportunity to eliminate or add rooms, upgrade materials, include new architectural detail and generally customize the home.

7. Latest Material – Low maintenance is one of the most important features of a new home built today. New technology in building materials has made homes in the 1990’s virtually maintenance free, especially the exterior. No longer does a homeowner have to worry about painting every 3-5 years.
